What Is The Last City Youd Want to Visit and the First in the USA?|123354

Of the ones you haven_t been to, what is the first city you_d want to visit in the US and the last?

My first would be San Francisco, I looked at some of it on Street View, its positiveley gorgeous.
My last would be Los Angeles. Too crowded, and I hear the traffic is worse then that in NYC, which is horrible!

  • Any city in Texas -- gun toting crazies.
    Give it all back to Mexico.

    Love to See Seattle -- moutains, ocean, never bee to that part of country.

  • I_d like to see NYC.
    Not interested in Pittsburgh, PA.

  • First to see ........... Anchorage, Alaska
    Last to see ........... Brownsville, Texas

    I_ve seen most of the major cities, which eliminates them.

  • last ..New Orleans tied with NYC
    however, Honolulu sounds like a plan

  • i_ve been to most of the major cities in the us.
    New York
    Boston
    Phillaphedia
    Washington, DC
    Richmond
    Charlestown
    Raleigh
    Savannah
    Tampa
    Chicago
    St. Louis
    Salt lake city
    Las Vegas
    San Francisco
    Portland
    Seattle

    The city i would like to go to the first would be austin, tx
    The last city would be L.A.

  • I_ve driven through Chicago, but haven_t really explored it, so I_ll say I_d like to explore Chicago.

    I really don_t have much interest in New Orleans.
  • What is the name of the bridge that connects you to Clearwater Beach?|104246

    We drove from Orlando to Clearwater Beach, FL and went over this long bridge across the water. I was just wondering if anyone knew the name of it. Is it the seven mile bridge because it seemed to be that long?

  • A lot depends upon which highway you took. It sounds like you were on I-275 and that would be the Howard Franklin Bridge, crossing Tampa Bay. If you were on Florida 60, that could have been the Courtney Campbell Causeway across Tampa Bay. Farther West it_s the Memorial Causeway, a much shorter span. This is the very last span taking you to Clearwater Beach. Coming from the South from Sand Key is a very short bridge on SR 699.

  • From Tampa, you would have taken Rt. 60 over the Courtney Campbell Causeway, which isn_t as long as the Howard Franklin or the Gandy Bridges. You would have driven across the city of Clearwater and across the Memorial Causeway, which is much shorter, into the beach area.
  • What is the prettiest town in Washington?|178170

    I_m writing a book and am looking for a small town in Washington, preferably with beautiful scenery where it rains a lot. It also shouldn_t be on a reservation of any kind, near one is fine though. And along any rivers or coast is a plus also. Thanks!

  • The scenery on the peninsula is probably the best. That is where the rain forest is. There are a few small towns there. I_ll post a link with an overview of the coast if that helps.
  • How do I know what kind of outlet a campground will have?|174908

    What do I ask when I want to know what kind of outlets they have? I do not know much. I know some plugs have two prongs and some plugs have three prongs.

  • The best way, to make sure you will have the right plug, is to take an adapter. That way, you will be able to hook up no matter what kind of an outlet they have. We have been RVing for a couple of years and I have only seen two kinds of outlets. I have also seen 2 kinds of service: 30 amp and 50 amp. For our use the 30 is fine but if you will be operating a lot of things that take electricity you may want to ask that question. Good luck.

  • How can my girlfriend and I have the best time in Boston in 3 days?|111775

    I will be staying at Boston for 3 days. How can I maximize my fun while visiting?

    Thanks.

  • Luckily for you, most things are very close. You can almost walk to many things!

    In Boston, Fanuiel Hall / Quincy Market is a must. It��s a little touristy now, but still a place to revel in history while eating and shopping to your heart��s content.

    Freedom Trail as well, except don_t walk the whole thing. Just hit some of the highlights. Go to the old North Church, Old South Meetinghouse, Paul Revere_s house, and the nearby Cemetery to see John Hancock and other famous people tombstones.

    If you like museums, the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) is one of my favorite in the world (that and the Mus��e D_Orsay in Paris). Museum of Science is pretty neat too, lots of cool stuff.

    If you like Baseball, you might be able to catch a Red Sox game. Fenway_s very easy to get to by subway.

    If you like to shop, go to the shops at Prudential Center / Copley Plaza. Also, be sure to walk down nearby Newbury St just for fun and window shop.

    Harvard Sq can be entertaining to walk around. Or you can bounce down to MIT and walk those hallways as well. Next to that is the esplanade, where you can walk the Charles River, which is gorgeous in the summer time, walk downtown and grab something to eat near Fanueil hall!

    You can also get a day pass for the _T_ (subway) and ride all over just for fun!




    If you want to wander outside of Boston (like if you have a car),

    There_s also
    Salem (north of Boston),
    Bunker Hill memorial in Charlestown (and you can climb it)
    Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) in Charlestown,
    JFK library (just south of Boston),
    Lexington and Concord (where it all started) out Route 2 (about 30-40 min away).

    Be sure to have a meal at a restaurant in Boston��s famous Italian North End.

    Enjoy the seafood too! For affordable seafood, No Name_s is the place to go. Outside of that, you could do the old reliable Durgin Park @ Quincy Market.

    As you might be able to tell, Boston_s one of my favorite cities.

    Hope you have a fantastic time!

  • Take the Duck tours which are fun. Go to a Red Sox game. Go to Fanueil Hall and eat all the yummy foods.

  • Well, it would really all depend on what sort of trip you are looking for, and what interests you. It would be nice to stay in a nice hotel directly downtown, and go to a romantic restaurant in the North End, and take a walk around the commons. Maybe walk through the Musuem of Fine Art, etc. . .If you_re looking for something more active/fun you could try to get tickets to a Red Sox game, go to the Aquarium, walk around Fanueil Hall (lots of sites, food and shops there) and then go to some of the bars around that area. Duck Tours and the Freedom Trail give you good ideas about the entire city. The top of the Prudential Building is good for a great view of the city.

  • Have a lot of sex!

    Seriously do the duck tours, see fanueil hall/Qunicy Market, Walk the Freedom trail and see the Public Gardens and Boston Common

  • all boston has is liqour and 18plus clubs. I hope you like to drink. and to maximize your fun do not and I repeat do not walk into a dark ally. bostons fun untill one of the gangs kills you and gang rapes you girl. true story.
  • What place in South Orange county has character without being extremely expensive?|112842

    I may relocate somewhere near Aliso Viejo. A lot of it seems like strip malls and look-alike housing developments. Laguna Beach has its charm, but I_ve heard it_s over-the-top expensive. What areas have character?

  • ::sigh::
    Another question that_s impossible to answer.

    See, OC is all new, for the most part. Have you ever seen the video that shows the opening of Disneyland? The only thing you had outside the park was I-5 and Orange Groves. Everything built since then was done with a cookie-cutter, because that_s what people wanted.

    The exceptions to that rule are ALL expensive. Heck, even the cookie-cutter places are expensive. In order to find places with character, you have to go back into the history books. But people who already live in those areas aren_t going anywhere. And the laws of supply and demand dictate a high price for such real estate.

    But you can start looking in the following areas:
    -Huntington Beach
    -Downtown Brea
    -Downtown Orange
    -Santa Ana
    -Laguna Beach
    -Newport Harbor
    -Fullerton, esp. near downtown
    -La Habra (might be your best shot at a decent price)

  • Remember cost is relative...
    Yes, all of Laguna Beach is extermely expensive compared to Omaha, NE, but compared to most of OC there is a lot of responsibly priced rentals. Can you get a 1 bedroom in Irvine and Laguna Beach for $1200 = yes... the one in Irvine will be a much nicer place/the one in Laguna will be a much better location.

    If you really want character without cost, I would look at the Old Town area of Orange or Belmont Heights in Long Beach.

    FYI - Laguna is far from anything. It takes 20+ mins to get to the freeway.

  • dddddddddddddddddd

  • There are no cheap coastal areas, none.
